Parker EreSS, Ian. 18th: There was
pleasant party of young folks at the
residence of r. NJ. Smith, Wednesday
evening. The party was given by the
Misses Smith, in honor Of Miss Clara
Smith /. .Thos. g. Fowler. of Hurley,
was arrested for assault and battery, on
Wednesday. and brought before JUS
tice z. Il. Ward, from whose court he
took change of venue to Justice
Tyler's court at Marion, where the case
was tried and he was fined FIVE dollars
and costs. He took an appeal to the
district court. and was released on 800
bonds. !, Hon. Geo. Il. Hand, attorney
for the G. s. N. w. R'y at Yankton,
was in town Wednesday. He came up
for the purpose of re-imbursing the
county for money paid in taking care
of Emiel Brechfeld, who had his legs
cut off by the cars at Centreville, last
summer. The amount paid was S4O49O
and was paid by their own free will.
which speaks well for the company.
There is a petitinu being circulated by
the w. G. 7. U. appealing to the coun-
ty commissioners and also to the in
coming village board to refuse to grant
license to sell intoxicating liquors in
Parker for the ensuing year. The
petition was liberally signed and shows
that the people of Parker, outside of
the WHISKY ring" do not want the
traffic in tie town, nor do we think
they would after a year of prosperity.
And as the moral welfare of the town
has been placed on higher standard,
We feel confident that the incoming
board will listen to the people and
grant no license.
Marion Sentinel, Jan. 29th: Charles
Seitert has presented the |. 0. o. f.
lodge with Il gavel made from piece
of Il log of the house in which he was
born, in Pennsylvania. The house was
| built in 1913 and torn down in 1885 -.
We are reliably informed that six COM
plants have already been filed against
parties in the upper part of town for
selling liquor without license. The
grand jury will investigate at the
| spring term of court. -. Mrs. G.. Ii.
/ Flowers returned from an extended
visit at Webster City, Iowa, last We'd
nesday A couple of fellows came up
from Parker, Monday, with q livery
| team and proceeded to top off drunk,
which they did very eifectually, and
along in the evening started for home.
After going u couple of miles or SO
they took the railroad track and pro-
ceeded, but after about sixty rods of
this rough locomotion the sleigh gave
out. In the meantime the liveryman
became uneasy about his team and
started to look it up, and found the
team loose from the sleigh just at the
edge OF the track aud both men, as he
thought, sleeping iii 1t. He came on
to Marion to get aid in removing the
wreck. Marshal Dow and others pro-
ceeded forthwith. but only one of the
men was then to be seen, and he was
brought back and put in the calaboost
for the balance of the night, q very colo
one, which would have been hard tt
survive in the open ar. Comment'
are unnecessary.
